D'Alessandro Shows Khan the Nuts

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With 130,000 in the middle to the J♣6♣2♥8♥Q♣ river, David D'Alessandro pushed all-in and that sent Michael Khan into the tank. It took more than three minutes and another player at the table then called the clock on Khan.

Thirty seconds ran down and Khan folded, D'Alessandro then grabbed his cards and flashed the A♣8♣ for the nut flush.

"Who called the clock?" D'Alessandro inquired to make sure letting know Khan it had not been him.

"I had kings with the king of clubs," Khan remarked in table chat.

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sunghak Lee raised to 6,000 and Jeremy Izquierdo called from the next seat over before Thomas Muehloecker shoved 35,500 from the seat after that. Timothy Adams came in with more from late position before Shaun Deeb jammed his last 75,000 from the button. Lee and Izquierdo got out of the way and action was three ways with Deeb and Muehloecker at risk.

Thomas Muehloecker: A♥Q♥
Shaun Deeb: A♣K♥
Timothy Adams: J♣J♠

The board ran out 6♦5♥7♥J♥7♣ and Adams rivered jacks full of sevens to take both players out.

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Frank Lagodich raised to 6,000 in the hijack and Jonathan Newman on the button made it 20,000 to go. The initial raiser then clicked it back to 45,000 and Newman pushed all-in for around 165,000, which Lagodich called.

Jonathan Newman: Q♠Q♥
Frank Lagodich: A♥K♥

The 10♣3♣2♠ flop and J♠ turn kept Newman ahead but Lagodich got there with the A♣ river.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, the turn showed Q♠6♣5♣7♦ and Michael Khan in the big blind checked. Andrei Shapovalov bet 16,500 and then faced the check-shove of Khan for 58,500 to reluctantly call.

Michael Khan: Q♥9♣
Andrei Shapovalov: Q♦J♣

The inferior kicker with a gutshot straight draw had some outs but the 5♠ river was not among them.

Two Seat Open on Table 11

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Edward Franklin got his chips in with the dominated 8♥8♣ and had a mountain to climb, as Anton Smirnov tabled the Q♣Q♥.

The A♦Q♦6♥ flop left Franklin on very thin ice and it was all over with the 7♦ turn and 10♠ river.

Shortly thereafter, Justin Bonomo was spotted on his way out of the same table as well. His cards were mucked already and the pot was shipped to Brazil's Jorge Ribeiro, who claimed the pot with the K♦7♦. According to Nicholas Unaro, Bonomo had defended the 6x5x and flopped an open-ended straight draw on 10♣7♠4♦. The 6♦ turn gave Bonomo an inferior pair and the 2♠ river was a blank.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Armando Lanuza opened to 10,000 before the action folded to Troy Quenneville in the cutoff who called and then action was on Takashi Ogura in the small blind who moved all in for his last 80,000.

The action was then back on Lanuza who flat called and Quenneville folded.

Takashi Ogura: A♣J♣
Armando Lanuza: J♠J♥

The full board ran out 3♠3♣7♦K♠4♠ and Lanuza dragged the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A few hands ago, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier had jammed a short stack from early position and Terence Kluczkowski folded the 6♠6♦ face-up when in the big blind, Grospellier flashed ace-king.

"Whenever I get a bad beat on GG, I see your face ... I really want to take your chips," Jessica Teusl joked in table chat then.

Soon after, Grospellier jammed for 45,000 with the 3♣3♦ and Teusl looked him up with the 7♥7♣.

The Q♣5♣5♠A♣J♣ board provided no help to the dominated pair and Teusl had her wish granted almost immediately.
